Role Details

Capture photo + video content and fuzzy mic interviews at the Next Gen x RIOT activation at the CIBC Run for the Cure, showcasing participant engagement and volunteer-led activities.

Description

We’re excited to launch Next Gen, a new Canadian Cancer Society community that connects young adults (ages 19-35) with opportunities to volunteer, advocate, learn, lead, and make an impact.

To celebrate the launch, Next Gen will be activating at the CIBC Run for the Cure in Toronto alongside RIOT (Research Information Outreach Team) — a volunteer group of cancer research trainees who help make research more accessible and understandable for the public.

We're looking for volunteers to help tell the story of the Next Gen x RIOT activation through content creation and participant storytelling. Whether you're capturing photos and video clips or interviewing participants and volunteers with our fuzzy mic, you'll help showcase the energy, community, and impact of the day while inspiring other young adults to get involved. This content may be featured in future social media, marketing, volunteer recruitment, and other Next Gen and/or RIOT promotions.

The CIBC Run for the Cure in Toronto will be taking place on Sunday, October 4, at the University of Toronto.
